Emma Raducanu is going to open her campaign at the Australian Open 2024 today. Ahead of her opening-round clash, an old interview of her resurfaced in which she talked about her mother’s unique trait. And it might be just the inspiration that she needs to achieve success Down Under.
After being away from tennis for the majority of the last season, Emma Raducanu is finally back to her groove. She has trained hard to be back on the court as the season picks up steam. This is her third appearance at the tournament, and Raducanu is hoping for a strong finish at the tournament.
The British tennis star has a very close bond with her mother. She has often spoken about the support she received from her mother and that side of the family during her early days in the sport. During an interview with Vogue a few years back, Raducanu explained how her mother’s traits inspired her.
Talking about this, she said, “I think the confidence comes from just inner belief. My mum comes from a Chinese background, they have very good self-belief. It’s not necessarily about telling everyone how good you are, but it’s about believing it within yourself. I really respect that about the culture.”
As Raducanu looks to dig deep at the Australian Open, imbibing this trait from her mother will surely help her during her campaign. Her mother has been an inspiration for her in every walk of life, not just on the court, but off the court as well. Her mother’s rare secret was a prime reason for Raducanu to become a fashion icon in the sporting world.
